Barcelona sporting director Deco has hailed Raphinha for his performances for the club so far this season.
Deco said the Brazilian international is doing well for the Blaugrana this term.
Raphinha has been in impressive form this season for Hansi Flick’s side.
The 27-year-old has contributed 16 goals and 10 assists in 21 appearances for Barca across competitions.
Speaking about Raphinha, Deco said (via MARCA):
“In his first season, when Barça won the league, he was fundamental.
“He scored many goals, provided assists, and is one of the players who has played the most… but in the end, when things don’t go well, things, on an individual level, aren’t valued too much.
“This year, the team started well, he is doing well and things are working out.”
Raphinha joined Barcelona from Leeds United in the summer of 2022.
